VETO THE TABUT BILL
Instead of taking up arms against
the rising sea of objection to the
new tariff, Mr. Koover would much
better end it by vetoing the bill.
Truth will out. For half a cen
tury the tariff has been working up
to those excesses which have at
length brought down upon it this
deadliest of all the blows at privilege.
Last October the Post-Dispatch re
vealed that only 6 per cent of the
people are direct beneficiaries of the
tariff, that more than half of our
manufacturing industry receives no
aid from it, that industries receiving
no benefit through imposts flourish
and in many cases pay higher wages
than benefited industries, and that
out of more than 20 million people
only 7,200,000 workers and 300
thousand stockholders could actually
be said to gain by it. All the rest,
all the other approximate 113 mil
lion people, pay to sustain the feudal
institution that in the present session
of congress has been characterized
as Grundyism.
When Mr. Hoover called the spe
cial session of congress at which the
present tariff fight began, he was
specific as to what the session was
to do. It was to enact "legislation
to effect further agricultural relief
and legislation for limited changes
of the tariff in justice to our farmers,
laborers and manufacturers." Noth
ing was further from his recommen
dation than that there should be a
general revision of the tariff upward,
or that industries whose profits al
ready swollen by superfluous pro
tection should be further enriched.
What he had in mind was that in
adding to tariffs for the benefit of
agriculture there should be revision
in those schedules where American
industry was suffering from the lower
costs of Europe.
From this modest intent ensued the
greatest saturnalia of greed in the
history of American politics, a grab-
fest which at least brought down up
on itself the maledictions of the
temperate elements in both parties,
alarmed industry itself about our ex
ports, enraged foreign countries
which trade with us, and aroused in
the end the concerted protests of 1,-
200 teachers in the science of politi
cal economy in 17 colleges and 46
states. .
The special session convened April
15, or six weeks after Mr. Hoover
was inaugurated. By September it
had become bo plain that' what had
been called the farmers' tariff was
being exhibited by political Indus
tries that the senate finance commit
tee voted to make public the names
of 325 corporations seeking tariff
favors and to ask the treasury for
the income tax returns of those con
cerns. This bomb threw the tariff
exploiters into wild confusion. In al
most every instance where higher
tariffs were demanded, the income of
the concern asking this favor was
shown by its profits to be in any
thing but need of relief. This ex
posure was for a time hought to
have defeated attempts to exploit the
bill. A coalition of democrats and
western republicans in .the senate re
duced almost every increase made in
the bill coming up from the house;
but that was all undone when Sen
ator Grundy set up his celebrated
trading post. The schedules mount
ed to new heights, and there they
remain today. The profiteer is Tn the
saddle; the farmer is out of it. Greed
wins, and the people lose. A billion
dollars a year will be added to the
cost of living in the United States if
the bill becomes law. Our foreign
markets have been depressed. Retal
iatory tariffs are going up against us
everywhere. Industry lags, prosper
ity falters all for 6 per cent of the
population.
In our opinion Mr. Hoover cannot
defend the bill. That is also the
opinion of most of the country and
press, including 1,200 disinterested
and unpolitical American economists
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

VOICE OF THE POPE
About six weeks hence, if you have
a good radio set, it will be your priv
ilege of hearing Pope Pius XI radio
casting on a short wave length from
Rome.
Arrangements have been made for
the Holy Father to make a personal
address to the followers of his faith,
and the necessary apparatus is now
being installed in the Vatican.
The Catholic church has about
335,000,000 followers throughout the
world of whom more than 20,000,000
reside in the United States, but few,
indeed, are the members who have
heard the voice of their leader.
The broadcasting of Pontiff's voice
from the Vatican will give the world
a distinct thrill.

DISSATISFACTION ALWAYS
Three government commissions
have recently been subjected to vio
lent criticism, including the charge
that they are so constituted as to
nullify the purposes for which they
were established. Judged by the
statement of these critics, the traffic
commission, federal trade commission
and the interstate commerce commis
sion are now composed of men whose
deliberate and acts under which they
were created.
There is always a tendency on the
part of the minority to insist that
the actions of the majority are all
designed to bring the world to an
untimely and terrible end. It is, per
haps, a privilege that should in some
instances be allowed those who find
themselves at variance with the
views of the majority, but when the
yarping is directed at established
branches of the government it is well
to consider the facts in the case be
fore believing the charges.
It would not be natural for disap
pointed litigants to express pleasure,
but no one has ever suggested that
the counts should be abolished be
cause the verdicts do not favor both
plaintiffs and defendants. Often the
plaintiffs and defendants. Often there
are reasons why federal commissions
6hould do one thing but still better
reasons why they should do the other
thing. When that happens those who
can see only one side of a question
demand abolition of the commission
or the appointment of new commis
sioners who think as they do.
Before these commissions were cre
ated there was a cry of injustice.
They were created to stifle that cry.
With what success? No matter which
way the decision falls there will be
dissatisfaction in some quarter.

THE NAVY SUPPLY BILL
The principal question before the
House of Representatives at present,
while it is being treated as a tech
nical problem of defense, is really a
matter of majority policy. Whether
to build war vessels up to the very
maximum permitted by the new arm
ament limitation treaty, or to con
tinue with a conservative building
program is the choice open to the
House. The hot-headed Mr. Britten,
Chairman of the Naval committee,
who almost wrecked our friendship
with England last year by his undue
candor, has asserted in his own bill
that we must spend Just short of a
billion dollars to reach the maximum
allowable by 1936. The bill was pre
pared in the Navy Department.
His chief opponent, Burton French,
of Idaho, favors a conservative build
ing program, delaying any large out
lays until it can be seen whether
Great Britain is going to build to
the limit or not. It is to be assumed
that Mr. French's view is more near
ly that of the White House, although
no positive statement has come from
there.
Rather than allow this extremely
important question to become a foot
ball of politics in the House, it is
desirable that the President make
some clear statement of policy, based
on his interpretation of the real
meaning of the London treaty. Mr.
Hoover has said several times that
naval strength is not absolute, but
relative relative to the strength of
other Powers. It follows "that Mr.
Britten's demand for a "first-class"
navy means nothing except in terms
of the strength of other navies. Hence
executive leadrsheip is vry badly
needed to relate this piece of legis
lation to our foreign policy in gen
eral. onumenfs!
